IllustrationWhen vehicle is in park and you try to shut it off, you get the error message “Shit to Park” and you are unable to shut the vehicle off. You have to switch between the gears a few times before the vehicle shuts off. I’ve done this a few times and have even been late for work because the car won’t shut off.

Again on 7/15/23 while coming back from North Carolina the AC unit stopped working. It is only blowing out warm arm. We stopped at the South Carolina welcome center to shut the car off and see if that corrected it. It didn’t. It is scheduled to go into the dealership on Wednesday 7/19/23. I had OnStar run a diagnostic on it to see if anything showed up and was told nothing came up to explain why the AC UNIT stopped working.
On 7/8/23 while taking a trip to North Carolina the AC unit stopped working. I was struggling to do anything and making a rattling noise. This occurred from 7am-3pm. We had shut the vehicle off many times to see if that would allow the AC to begin working normally again and it did nothing until 3pm.
Upon shutting off the ignition, my car tells me to "shift to park" each time and it is already in park. Takes several minutes for it to finally register that is already in park.
